I doubt it, no rudder to compensate. assymetric, and still flying relative close formation
probably just coincidence in the distance and camera objective/shutter that the closest prop is captured right and others are not..
or his right prop was just a smidgeon rpm slower...than the right
notice second prop is still aaaalmost visible as well.

Had he really lost an Engine, they would not have been taking pic over sea and would have turned back over land.
They are no Navy pilots you know, wet stuff is scary to land or parachute down on.

The right engine is dead and the prop is feathered, see the shadow of the blade on the cowling.
The P-38 was unique in that it had counter rotating props. The outward rotating props help to mitigate the effects of torque and P-factor during engine out.
Over the Aleutians with miles of open ocean, he may not had the fuel/luxury of flying over land to get back to the closest airfield. P-51s over the Pacific flew hundreds of miles single engine over the Pacific to escort B-29s.

Beautiful abandoned miners' cottages in a disused slate quarry in Snowdonia, North Wales. The quarry closed in 1969 due to industry decline and because 170-years of working the site had reaulted in waste tips sliding into the main pit workings.

Exactly !!
I spent many, many years in military aviation. I know a feathered prop when I see one. KNS is correct about the counter rotating props on the P-38.

I always wanted to fly in a OV-1 Mohawk. I was able to fly an OV-10 Bronco at Camp Pendleton, but no luck with the 1.

That tractor, a McCormick-Deering 15-30, wasn't introduced until 1921. That caption might be a typo.

If I had to take a guess this is one of those photos where the selfietaker asked someone with photo editing skills to "fix the photo" because of the guy in the background.

They then "fixed" the photo by copying the filter over to the guy rather than removing the guy.

“The high flashpoint of the special SR71 fuel brings up a problem. Most jet engines use igniter plugs, nothing more than a very hot spark plug, if you will. Using these igniter plugs they used with the JP-7 and just drowns it out, it won't ignite. Kelly put his engineers to work, and he said, 'OK, gentlemen, how are we going to start this?' They came up with a very unique way. Triethylborane – TEB for short. Each engine has a one-and-a-quarter pint. If I had it in a squirt gun and I squirted it into the atmosphere, it would go Kaboom! – it explodes with contact with the atmosphere. And that's how we started the engines. As the engines rotate, at the right time, it sprays this amount of TEB into the turbine section, which goes kaboom, which in turn lights the engine. When you take the throttles up into the afterburner, it puts this metered amount of TEB in that lights up the JP-7. You get 16 shots for each engine." Rich Graham
SR 71 pilot David Peters comments : An interesting note to this is the transport of it. If we landed away, servicing had to be hauled to our location. The NTSB lists TEB as the following most dangerous material, one step below fissionable nuclear material. The folks that handled this stuff were highly trained and good.

April 1881. Gunman Dallas Stoudenmire has just been named marshal of El Paso. He goes to get the jail keys from Deputy Bill Johnson, who is drunk. Johnson stalls saying the keys are at his home. Stoudenmire doesn’t believe him; he grabs the deputy, turns him upside down and shakes him until the keys fall out. A couple of weeks later, Johnson tries to assassinate the new marshal—but Stoudenmire is faster, and likely more sober, and kills his opponent with several shots.

Nope, that is from a 2003 thread on an old reverse scamming site. In this case the poster made a Nigerian scammer believe that he (the poster) was the head of some obscure religious group or sect, and that he would donate lots of money to them if they accepted his faith. When they agreed he sent them these instructions that included having to send him a picture of every convertee with a fish on their head while holding a loaf of bread.

He had them do all sorts of much more extreme, yet hilarious stuff. There was even a competition on the site to see who could get a scammer to do the funniest tasks, or send them the most money.

Very cool midget, and great story. Thanks!

I've seen cars that were driving down the road that had suspension get so worn that a ball literally fell out of a socket, and the front tire tried to go it's own way. That does bring the car to a halt.

I'd drive both of those mustangs assuming the work is well done.
